Episode 7.23 - Defense against the AI Arts

The rise of generative AI products for commercial use is probably the fastest and most controversial of any technological advance in history. Governments are scrambling to understand and regulate its use. Billions are being invested in development. At the same time, the general public’s interest in the technology has waned and industry pioneer OpenAI announced a potential bankruptcy in 2024 unless significant new investment is forthcoming. But there is apparently no putting the genie back in the bottle and it is left to all of us to figure out what we can do with it without causing outright disaster. So, for this episode, we have brought this panel of experts to talk about how we can defend against the malicious use of the technology while we mine the benefits. Hyrum Anderson, co-Not With a Bug But a Sticker and an accomplished data scientist with a historical understanding of the tech going back decades; Haseeb Khan, Generative AI Ambassador and at Google; and representing the user base, Milan Lazich, a senior marketing executive, who will discuss concerns and best practices of generative AI. The transcript of this discussion will be available in the AI special issue of Cyber Protection Magazine and will be distributed to attendees at the it-sa exhibition and conference October 10, and then available to the magazine subscribers in an electronic version after the conference
